Often times I have a hard time organizing my thoughts. I feel like my brain is running 90 mph, but my body can't keep up. When this happens I've come to realize that taking a moment, recollecting my thoughts, and jotting down my ideas so I can organize them is vital to keeping me sane (and somewhat on track).
With this new year I have vowed to keep organized physically and mentally. To do so, I began by decluttering most things around me so my A.D.D. mind could relax and focus. I started by downloading a couple calendar apps, and picking something that was best suited for my needs. I've come to realize that I prefer having a physical calendar to jot things down quickly. For me this is truly easier then typing something up in my phone. Also, what if it accidentally gets deleted? This would be likely something that would happen to me.
Anyways, I've started my quest for a new planner. I haven't quite settled on one just yet. I know I want to get a nice one that is sturdy and aesthetically pretty. Girls are all about the looks! So easy to market to.
I am looking at a few different options at the moment, but currently I. Need. Sleep.
Much Love,
Jess xoxo

Day 2 + Day 3 - Lazy Days
Yesterday, was Friday. Not just any Friday, but a friday after a holiday and I had to return to work. It was so wonderful painful, and felt like it just dragged on forever. Currently I work in the business side of the health care industry and I really don't think it's for me. For me the industry is less about helping and healing people, and more about making money. When you have a job that you dislike and coworkers that you dislike even more, it's difficult to wake up in the morning and get your day started with a pep in your step.
Enter this blog. I thought it would be a great idea to start the new year fresh and focus on things I enjoyed doing. I wanted to set some goals for myself throughout the year and really stick to them. I plan to write a post every day or every other day to hold myself accountable to my goals and keep me on track. I'm on a journey to become more creative, and while writing is not my main passion, it's definitely something I'd like to improve upon and grow in.
I should probably introduce myself! My name is Jessica, and I live in Florida. I am currently a full time college student, majoring in Health Services Administration with only 2 semesters left until graduation (Halleljuah!). As I said, I'm not entirely sold on the Healthcare industry, but at the time of choosing a major I had no idea what I wanted to pursue so I thought health care would be a safe and secure industry.
Lately I look back at that decision and I think to myself, 'What in the hell was I thinking?' If you want to live a life of passion and happiness, most decisions made shouldn't start with feeling safe and secure. As I was bored with school and flipping through the internet I realized my passion for creativity. I've always known I was a creative being, and also extremely visual. I learn visually, and am attracted to aesthetics. I found myself slowly becoming obsessed with graphic design, and web design. Typography and patterns and prints, oh I can't get enough. Being so close to finishing school, I decided it would be foolish to throw away this degree (and money spent towards it) that I've been working on. I'm going to finish out this degree and possibly turn around and get another degree! Who knows, maybe I will just jump straight into the field as there is so much information to be found on the internet.
I'm so stoked to get this degree over with and begin a lifetime of creativity. This blog should be a great start.
I'm going to head off to bed now. I need to get some rest as I want to test out my new GoPro tomorrow on a morning bike ride. Who knows, maybe I will share it with you guys?
Good night and sleep tight,
Jess xoxo

Day 1: Happy New Year 2015
Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015!
Today is officially the first day of the new year. 2014 was good to me, but I feel deep down in my bones that 2015 is going to be my year. Something awesome is a'brewin'.
I decided to create a daily diary, where I can share my experiences, thoughts, blurbs, emotions every single day of this year, 2015. I honestly can't even put into words exactly why, but I just think this is a good place to start.
Let me first just start by stating some New Year Resolutions:
1. Become more organized
2. Proactive, actively pursue things that I purely enjoy
3. Strive to have less clutter and things, but more objects of value
4. Become financially stable (as financially stable as a college student can be)
5. Focus on health. Internally and externally.
6. Go to bed earlier, wake up earlier. (this one I can start tomorrow ;) )
7. Become more active. Specificially running more or starting yoga.
8.Start a blog! (Already got one thing off of my list! Woohoo, told you this was going to be my year)
9. Become more passionate and thoughtful
10. Start goals, and finish them. Its the small battles in life.
11. Dominate my fears.
12. Love myself. This will be a long journey, but you have to start somewhere.
I feel alive with hope and determination. We will see what this year brings!
Cheers!
Until next time,
Jess xoxo
